GATA-type transcription activator, N-terminal
InterPro entry
Short name | GATA_N |
Description
GATA transcription factors mediate cell differentiation in a diverse range of tissues. Mutations are often associated with certain congenital human disorders. The six classical vertebrate GATA proteins, GATA-1 to GATA-6, are highly homologous and have two tandem zinc fingers. The classical GATA transcription factors function as transcription activators. In lower metazoans GATA proteins carry a single canonical zinc finger. This entry represents the N-terminal domain of the family of GATA transcription activators.
